In a recent article in "INSIGHT" magazine, author Timothy Maier chronicles the history of Red Chinese espionage operations aimed at penetrating U.S. military installations, smuggling narcotics, obtaining economic information and funneling money to worldwide Red Chinese operations through banking institutions. In the book "WAR BY OTHER MEANS " by John J. Fialka documents Red Chinese espionage activities including; enrolling students in science and engineering classes at U.S. universities. Red China enrolls over 15,000 students a year in American universities and carefully recruit agents among the candidates being considered for student visas.
They are called acheng di yu, or fish at the bottom of the sea. These little fish are sent to the United States to grow, to be activated years, maybe decades later. Red Chinese spies are among us. Their infiltration is deep. Their present targets appear to be super secret encryption and satellite technologies. These technologies could provide access to the most sensitive U.S. military secrets and wreck American intelligence-gathering worldwide. A former NSC expert on intelligence encryption says China needs encryption technology badly and targeted the United states to get it.
"The Chinese are into information warfare - the ability to use computers to collect intelligence and conceivably to damage the U.S.," says an NSC staffer who served in the Reagan administration. "It would cause real trouble for the U.S. if they obtained U.S. encryption technology. It will be a hit against the quality of American intelligence operations." Just how vulnerable is the United States? During the Persian Gulf War two Dutch hackers successfully tapped into the Pentagon computers and learned the precise locations of troop deployments. They then attempted to sell this information to Suddam Husseim, who turned them down because he thought it was an American trick.
A former Hong Kong investment banker, Randolph Quon, claims that the Chinese Communist Party undertook a strategic-information warfare campaign within the U.S. An integral part of that plan involved taking control of the Lippo Group. In fact just four days after Bill Clinton's 1992 election victory China Resources Co. acquired 65% of the Lippo Group's, Hong Kong Chinese Bank. Presumably this was done because they felt they had an inside to the president through vice-president of American operations for Lippo, John Huang (see #7).
By the 1996 elections the FBI had learned of a major Chinese espionage plot to influence the outcome of these elections. This information was passed on to the Secret Service and they passed this information on to President Clinton as a part of normal security briefings that every president receives. Yet despite all of this, this administration allowed Charlie Trie (see #19) to be a frequent visitor and fund raiser, Vice-president Al Gore to attend a fund raiser at a Buddhist Temple (see #18), Johnny Chung to attempt to buy influence both in the White house and in Department of Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary's office (see #9), Wang Jung a Red Chinese princeling, access to the president (see #4), ...
...and John Huang to be a Commerce Department official with top security clearance even though he never filled out the required documents that are reviewed before top security clearance is granted (see #7). The senate campaign finance committee investigators whose job it is to take depositions of people involved in the 1996 election money laundering, have run into a "stonewall" with respect to many of the witnesses they wish to interview. It seems that 50 (love that number) of these witnesses have either taken the fifth amendment, or fled the country (why the justice department let these people leave is a good question for Janet Reno, but don't expect an answer).
Those who are not Chinese or have direct Chinese connections include Mark Middleton, Webster Hubbell (see #20), Nolanda Hill (see #3), Yogesh Ghandi. The remaining 46 people are either Chinese or under the control of the Lippo Group. For a complete listing of those refusing to testify see HUMAN EVENTS August 29 to September 5. Bill Clinton who campaigned for president in 1992 promising to do something about the butchers in Bejing, has been a very good friend to the Red Chinese. He has approved for export many of the computer technologies they so desperately needed to make their missile targeting systems accurate enough to be a threat. This despite very strong objections from our allies Great Brittan and France.
He has pushed for MFN trading status despite a dismal human rights record from the Red Chinese including using slave labor. He has reversed immigration policies advocated by his own hand picked commission allowing Chinese to bring "family member" after "family member" to this country. He has approved of a plan to turn over part of the Long Beach harbor to COSCO, a front company for the Communist Chinese government. By the way, this is the same COSCO that now controls both the Atlantic port and the Pacific port of the Panama Canal. It is also the same company that was caught trying to smuggle 2,000 AK47s into the United States.
The president is also responsible for John Huang, who has been described as a human vacuum cleaner, getting his top secret security clearance without going through a background check. He was briefed by his security staff about the Chinese goals to influence our government and elections, and took no significant action. It is for these reasons that an independent counsel, with the objective of preforming a criminal investigation of this administration's involvement with the Red Chinese, must be named by Janet Reno now. If a link can be proved between the President and the Red Chinese, we must not stop at impeachment, but continue on to treason.

#4 of the top 50 unethical acts of the Clinton Administration:
Back in 1994 the Clinton Administration decided to help the poor children in the United States of America by improving a pretty successful existing vaccination program. To begin with Hillary Clinton, who headed this particular program, declared a crisis existed. Supposedly there were millions of children who were slipping through the cracks and not receiving the protection vaccinations would provide. The truth was there was no crisis. The poor, the uninsured, the under insured, and Native Americans have access to free vaccinations through public health clinics already. In fact over 96% of the nations children were insured at the time of this so called crisis. But wait,there is more. Undaunted by the facts, Hillary continued in her attempt to show us how the village can care for the health of its children. She established a huge national distribution center with a large, government run warehouse in New Jersey. Soon vaccine manufacturers were shipping vaccine to the warehouse. All seemed peachy until a representative of the vaccine manufacturer noticed the warehouse wasn’t refrigerated. Without refrigeration the vaccine stored in the warehouse would become stale and actually present a risk to the children inoculated. Additionally by only having one warehouse, the system was a disaster waiting to happen. A simple warehouse fire could wipe out the supply of vaccine for the entire country. Well the central distribution of vaccine from this warehouse was becoming such a public relations nightmare that it was abandoned. But wait, there is more! Several states including Texas and New York had modeled their own programs to dove tail with Hillary's scheme. They had made no provisions to acquire vaccine of their own, and now were in a state of panic. At last there was a vaccine crisis. The fact that it had been caused by Hillary Clinton seemed to go unnoticed by the main stream press. But wait, there is more! All in all the Clinton Administration blew $460 million dollars on this vaccination plan. They purchased 41% more oral polio vaccine than they needed and 13 million doses of Rubella vaccine, 60% more doses than all the unvaccinated kids in the United States. This program was so bad that even Ted Kennedy, who is not known for being particularly conservative about anything, called it "crazy". Despite all this Hillary, through her husband Bill, stubbornly pushed on with her plan asking for $891 million in the 1996 budget "for the children". This prompted the following editorial in NEWSDAY, "The Clinton administration's nationwide child immunization program could be viewed as good intentions gone awry. That would be charitable. Realistically, it is a political and administrative failure that is emblematic of a blockheaded commitment to liberal ideology that sometimes characterizes this administration ... The Clintons insisted that cost, driven by price gouging by pharmaceutical companies, was the reason many low-income and uninsured families failed to get their kids shots. In reality, free vaccines already were available through federal and state programs ... Now a highly critical GAO study has determined (to almost no one's surprise) that the cost of vaccines isn’t a big problem and that the best solution may be an outreach program, increasing parents’ awareness of the need to have their children immunized and making clinics more accessible. Amazingly, the administration still clings to its program." There may be some of you who upon reading this are simply amused. But with the recent announcement by Hillary Clinton of a "Silent Child Care Crisis", all of us should be concerned for the future and safety of our children.
#3 of the top 50 unethical acts of the Clinton Administration:
On April 3, 1996 U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown was killed in a plane crash in Eastern Europe. At the time of his death, Ron Brown was facing a variety of investigations into various illegal activities to which he had been linked. Jus a few years earlier, a Vietnamese official had accused Brown of soliciting a huge bribe of $700,000 to get Clinton to open up Viet Nam to American investments. A federal grand jury had begun hearing evidence for a possible criminal indictment on this case. The grand jury proceedings were supposed to be secret, yet Brown and his confederates were day by day, illegally informed of the proceedings, so they could obstruct justice by bribing or terrorizing grand jury witnesses. Brown was not indicted. At the time of the crash, a federal grand jury in the Southwest was reportedly just a few weeks away from handing up a criminal indictment, charging Commerce Secretary Brown with taking a huge bribe to fix a matter involving a gas pipeline case, implicating Bill Clinton and his circle of big business scoundrels, including Arkansas Natural Gas billionaire Jackson Stephens. Ron Brown was also under scrutiny from Judicial Watch as they were pursuing many alleged abuses in the Commerce Department sponsored trade missions which were said to have been used as a vehicle to raise money for the DNC. The Commerce Department has always had elements of a politicized favor factory, but the Clinton Administration has made it an art form. A DNC brochure obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times offered "managing trustees," who gave donations of $100,000 to the DNC, invitations to "participate in foreign trade missions." Melinda Moss, a former top fund-raiser for the DNC, became the Commerce Department’s director of business liaisons specifically in charge of selecting executives for foreign trade missions. Ms. Moss claimed executives were selected on merit alone, but she resisted responding to the Freedom of Information Act request for files on the trip selection process. When Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch contacted Ms. Moss to inquire about the months-long delay on this request, she refused to turn over the documents. "She called me an ugly word, and later slammed down the phone and hung up on me," Mr. Klayman recalls. Review of the documents that have been reluctantly turned over to Mr. Klayman may explain why Ms. Moss and the Commerce Department don't want to release any more. One such document, a June 1994 memo from Chris Brown, business manager for Entergy Power Development Group, discusses a meeting with Commerce Department officials including Jude Kearney, a former Clinton staffer in Arkansas, where an upcoming trade mission to China was discussed. According to Mr. Brown, Mr Kearny "indicated the competitive nature of being selected to ride on the plane with Secretary Ron Brown. Also indicated that politics of the situation were important and he as a political appointee would push those that were politically connected." This was just one of 35 passengers on just one of dozens of trips, including that fatal last trip to Macedonia. I am sure you can see that this shakedown process was a very lucrative one for President Clinton as he sought funds for his re-election. The reluctance of the Commerce Department to release further documents seems to indicate that indeed bribery and graft were common among those Clinton Administration appointees working in the Commerce Department. Orchestrating and directing this activitywas Ron Brown, but we all know that his strings were pulled by Bill Clinton.
#2 of the top 50 unethical acts of the Clinton Administration:
On October 10, 1997 President Clinton gave an official proclamation designating Nationa Children's Day. The proclamation contained the following statement."With the birth of every child, the world becomes new again. Within each new infant lies enormous potential -- potential for loving, for learning, and for making life better for others. But this potential must be nurtured. Just a seeds need fertile soil, warm sunshine, and gentle rain to grow, so do our children need a caring environment, the security of knowing they are loved, and the encouragement and opportunity to make the most of their God-given talents. There is no more urgent task before us, as a people and as a Nation, than creating such an environment for America’s children." If he only 0 meant it. On the very same day he made this proclamation the president vetoed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act for the second time. For those of you who do not know of the procedure known as Partial-Birth Abortion, it is the intentional and brutal destruction of a baby -- usually late-term and "viable" -- partially delivered from the womb. The child is manipulated to exit the mother's uterus feet first, until his or her head is all that remains in the birth canal. Then scissors or some other sharp object are plunged into the baby's skull, the brain matter is vacuumed out and the head is crushed before removing it from the mother's body. The ban on such procedures has twice been approved by a large bi-partisan majority of both the House of Representatives and Senate. Sadly, it hasn't been a veto proof majority in the Senate. In vetoing the ban the president marshaled several "expert" witnesses to testify before Congress and the Senate. Among those called was Ron Fitzsimmons who testified to the benefits of preforming this procedure. Later, after the first presidential veto, Fitzsimmons admitted that he had lied when he had testified that partial-birth abortions were rare and only done for health reasons. Despite this revelation only a few votes were changed in the Senate and on October 10, 1997 President Clinton vetoed the ban on partial-birth abortions for the second time. He says it's important to permit this savagery to protect the health of the mother. However, a much more common and safe procedure known as a Caesarean section, would result in a healthy mother and child. The truth is we don't know what he feels on this subject. The stand he has taken is a political one, to appease the radical feminists who call this "choice". It is very ironic that Bill Clinton's own mother carried him to term, despite being unmarried during an era where such situations were looked on with some degree of shame. At the same time it is clear that a man who doesn't feel moral outrage in this so called "medical" procedure, is capable of committing any number of unspeakable crimes against his fellow countrymen.
